"Through Montessori education, we've witnessed incredible healing in children who have experienced adversity. This has transformed our mission from merely establishing Montessori programs to providing a haven of healing through Montessori."

our origins...

We’ve experienced firsthand the transformative power of Montessori education. Watching our own children thrive in a Montessori environment, we were amazed by their independence, creativity, and love of learning. We couldn’t help but wonder how such a holistic approach could benefit children facing adversity.

​

In 2021, we visited an orphanage in Bosnia and saw a unique opportunity. While the basic needs of the children were met, there was a clear lack of stimulating early childhood education. We realized that Montessori’s child-centered approach, with its emphasis on individual learning and social-emotional development, could be a powerful tool for healing and growth.

​

Montessori Origins is dedicated to bringing this transformative education to underserved children. By providing Montessori-trained educators and high-quality materials, we aim to create nurturing learning environments that empower young minds and cultivate global citizens
